    Thumbs down Can't register for Kubuntu forums

    Is anyone else having trouble registering for the Kubuntu forums http://www.kubuntuforums.net/

    I am unable to get past the verification questions, which I'm pretty sure that I am answering correctly. At the time of posting, the questions (and my answers) are:

    What year is it?: 2010
    What does (2+3)*4 equal?: 20
    What is the capital of India?: New Dehli (I've tried just Dehli)
    What large country is north of the United States?: Canada
    Are you a bot?: no (I've tried yes!)

    I have attempted registering multiple times with no success. Each time I am told: "You did not answer the verification questions correctly".

    have you tried capital "No"?



    obligatory xkcd

    I'm trying PHP, so my code can probably be labelled "bad and insecure"

    Yes, already tried that. I have tried all lower case and all initial caps.

    Thanks for trying that for me. Very much appreciated.

    Well at least I know my answers are correct, but I'm still unable to register. Strange. I'm on a Mac at the moment (at work) and I've tried both Firefox and Safari. I will have to try my laptop (Kubuntu) or my desktop (Windows 7) at home.

    How embarrassing! Yes it was my incorrect spelling of Delhi. When you said it's 'New Delhi' not 'dehli', I wrongly assumed that you were confirming that Delhi was indeed prefixed by 'New'. I didn't notice the modified spelling. Yes, I was being incredibly thick!

    Thanks for your help, I'm registered now!
